Geithner, the former president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was a senior fellow at the Council in 2001 and will be based in New York, at the organization’s headquarters, according to information published exclusively in POLITICO’s Playbook, by Mike Allen.

“We are thrilled to welcome Tim back to the Council on Foreign Relations,” Haass continued in Playbook. “Both at Treasury and at the New York Federal Reserve, Tim was a tireless, creative, and responsible custodian of the public trust. His coming to CFR only strengthens our capacity to produce thoughtful analysis of .. economic, political, and strategic developments.’”

A release is expected from CFR later today, Playbook noted.

Geithner concluded his post at Treasury late last month. Obama has nominated former White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew to replace him.
